The ULI supports both the HD and AC97 interfaces, but the 8641
only supports the AC97 interface.  Thus we can straight disable
the HD and convert/configure the shared pins to be AC97.  Thus,
there is no real CONFIG_ need at all.  It's only AC97.  And then
ultimately, the presence of sound support is controlled by
the ALSA config options as per normal.
